Aww, Nick. Sorry to hear you're so tired! I've been crazy busy these days plus personal matters that are stressful... what is in the air right now!? lol Hope it turns around fast for you💖
I used Wizard's Tower to level Final Form, it's 30 EXP per run and a combo of Oathkeeper + Bond of Flame with Firaga, Magnega, and Reflega on your customize is all you need. Firaga 3 times in the first stairs (one per pack), Reflega in the Dragoon room, Firaga the first spawn in the second stair then Jump+Magnega followed by an immediate Firaga to kill the 4 dancer spawn. Same pattern for the Gamblers in the next room, then Reflega for the first spawn in the final stairs, and Reflega and Firaga for the final spawn (you may not need the last Firaga if the Reflega placement is good.) All in all, I started at Form lv 1 and had to work further up the tower as I gained form gauges but once I could clear the whole thing from bottom to top it took about 30 minutes to go from lv 3-4 to lv 7. Great EXP for Sora and the gang along the way too. Edit: after having seen the times in the video, I'd like to note that my 30 minute estimate was me not timing myself and not trying to go as fast as possible. I still think just starting and staying in the tower should be faster than doing basement to lv 3, but I could be wrong.
I swear I responded to this, but whatever, you're right in that it's a great exp grind from 3 to 7 but you're welcome to test 1 to 3 as well; I am open to other people's strategies and encourage testing (that's why I explain the exact way I do it so it can be replicated)
Been replaying kh2 final mix on crit with leveling instead of level 1, this video is super helpful and you got lots of good kh guides. I subscribed thank you for the guides! I love a lil grinding but its kinda annoying and tedious sometimes. I'm sure this'll help!
My kiddo started KH2 Final Mix Proud Mode, and was just asking me how to level up faster... I'm going to watch this a few times so I can look cool and help him out lol 😊
The thing about The Bees is that in vanilla KH2 they dropped MP orbs instead of HP orbs so you didn't have to dodge the drops to stay in critical HP. So around level 50 or so you'd Magnega into Thundaga and just collect the MP orbs so you don't run out. At higher levels Magnega would just instakill them so you just keep one of those going and watch the bees fly into the wood chipper.
I'm about half certain that "wow" is a buff in either dragonquest or persona or whatever. Some jrpg, for sure. I think it increases attack. (?) Following this logic, if square ever decides to do a cross-franchise game, the possibility of there ever being spells called "wow", "wowra" "wowga" and "wowza" are low but never zero.
After I grind EXP to Level 100 in KH1 on DI, I'm gonna do my best to grind exp to 99 on Twilight Town before merging with Sora, like AarenousGaming. Still, thanks for the guide.
Best of luck! Experience Boost against the Nobodys on Day 6 (before the mansion) was the fastest when I tested it And was gonna get added to this video but was scraped for time
@@aminexokwhen you beat roxas and get the two become one keyblade, it will a have an ability called "light and darkness". Equip that keyblade and go to colosseum and enter the cerberus cup. After going in, use a drive form. If you get anti form, retry the cup and use a form again. You will eventually get final form.
I do wanna add with limit form leveling with at least no. V you don't need to actually land any hits in your limits for them to actually count, just the activation of the finisher Meaning it is very beneficial to roll back to the door, do 2-4 limits (depending on if you want to use ethers for the grind), exit the room and use the save to refill mp to save on drive
@@nickmcsleighten yeah i first learned about this a few years ago from THE GOAT Bizkit047 in his drive leveling guide Video still holds up today but it's a little aged, concise but aged if that makes any sense Edit to add: in the video he also suggests for master form to go to Christmas town and use the merry-go-round for drive orbs, i personally iirc used the lod method for early levels and gamblers for later levels but it was a while since I did it
@@jadenknott completely understood lemme follow up also: will limit form level up as long as you’re in combat even if you miss the finisher? Just so long as its activated?
@@nickmcsleighten took me forever on the mushrooms that was about a year and a half ago . Also need to check and see if I have more of those videos I never got to post.
i wonder if you can level up valor form by doing reaction commands while in valor form i mean you can level up valor form by using the delete reaction command on the MCP when your in valor form so it might be possible
I was wondering if someone would point out that before Riku joining you could use TWTNW for wisdom form. When it's literally nothing but shadows, one of the easiest to kill heartless and there are a ton of them, it became my go to on my most recent playthrough
Good evening Nick. This is pretty cool. I was looking through your channel since I'm a new subscriber. I saw your boss and data rank video. Have you thought about doing world and/or keyblade rankings? I'd love to see your thoughts. As I'm sure a lot of us would!!!! Hope you're having a wonderful weekend 😊 Edit. Unless you've already done it and I can't find the videos 😅
Tl;dr: It makes getting killed at 15:13 easier Long explanation: Because after attacking the floating balls that drop the drive orbs we need to level up, we’re going to go back to the Depths, jump down, and get killed by the heartless there (dying resets the floating balls so we can do the strategy again), and to make the process faster its best to not have any armor on which lowers Sora’s defense
@@bloppyBloop I’m so tempted to hit you with a Thanos quote right now for the memes 😂😂 but regardless, I am glad my vids can help out 😁 If you want tips on the data fights, I did make a google doc for PRO Codes that detail how the fights function

Hey, I am a big Kingdom Hearts fan, I think I was 16 or 17 when the first one came out, I was in New York by then, up to this day I still play the game, I haven't gotten past Kingdom Hearts 1 and 2, I was really excited when the third volley came out on PS4, it definitely could make the whole year worth living, (I really loved the dual wield in Kingdom Hearts 2, definitely added some spice to the series)I guess I am writing on behalf of all the die hard Kingdom Hearts fan including yourself, your videos go straight to the point, don't worry it doesn't affect my desire to play the game too much, but it definitely are some things that I would like to find out by myself when playing the game, again the point of an RPG is that the game talks in riddles, and imagine if nobody told you, you could find the bahamuth summon playing the game, and then he told you exactly how to get it, I guess what I am trying to say (I know it's an old game, but what you guys are doing collectively is destroying a masterpiece, silence is better in this case, maybe what you wanted to do was something different like promoting the game, but I can tell you it had quite the opposite effect. Thank you for your understanding.
@@WestAfrican-m1v hey! Thanks for your input! I get what you’re saying, but I have to disagree that silence is better and I disagree in this “appeal to individualism” - people don’t learn alone, by themselves in a vacuum - its human nature to learn from others and that’s a correct way to learn, too The onus isn’t on me if people are looking up guides, that’s their personal choice And my guides are for anyone who wants to learn more, enjoys guides, is stuck, or any other number of things; there is no wrong way to learn
IDK, people who come here probably want a clear guide because KH2 doesn't really tell you how the form levelling works or grinding isn't fun to them, so they want to find the fastest method to get it over with and the talking makes it easier to follow. If people wanted to find the grinding spots themselves, they probably wouldn't be here. Also, how does showing the best grinding spot destroy a masterpiece? I'd argue it would enhance the experience for some people because of the previous reasons. And again, if people didn't want help, they wouldn't be here, so it wouldn't ruin the game for them either.
can someone explain the stair strategy to me in english? I have listend so many times and it makes no sense? What's referendum? what's refried beans? I keep dying because I'm not killing things the way this video shows and so there must be something i'm missing based on all these nicknames
Sure thing! I apologize that it’s confusing - I’m saying “referendum” and “refried beans” in place of the magic spell “reflect” but to explain: - start at the save point in “Tower Entryway” - take damage in the first stairwell until you’re at half health - make sure Donald and Goofy are customized to “Sora Attack” in the pause menu so that they don’t defeat any enemies - with Gullwing equipped, start fighting your way up the first stairwell - in the next circular room, where Dragoon Nobody’s attack, rush to the center and immediately cast Reflect/Reflera/Reflega and that should defeat them all (use Thunder to defeat any that survive) - continue up the green set of stairs defeating the enemies - in the next circular room, defeat the Gamblers - in the red stairwell, use Reflect when the Berserker Nobodys appear, as their sword will hit it causing Reflect to do high damage to them, we can then use Thunder to finish them off before they hit us - When we reach the Sorcerer’s Chamber, we’ll enter the Wardrobe Room, then run back to Sorcerer’s Chamber and down the stairs; go all the way back down to Tower Entryway fighting wherever the enemies are - Stay at half health or lower during the whole strategy then at Tower Entryway, enter outside and back in and repeat the strategy I hope this helps!
@@nickmcsleighten Yes! thank you so much! It still took me a few tries but I think I have the cycle figured out now! You are amazing! Thanks for replying!
